Video Analytics for the iPad

May 6 2010

Today, we’re elated to announce that not only will Wistia videos play on an iPad (and an iPhone and any other HTML5 compatible devices), but their playback will be tracked in the exact same way we track Flash video — viewer-by-viewer, second-by-second.

This does not mean that you’ll simply know whether or not someone is watching on an iPad, we’re capturing Video Heatmaps for each and every iPad and iPhone viewer. You’ll be able to tell who’s interested based on how much they watch, and gauge how your content is performing for your audience. Have an iPad (or iPhone) on hand and want to give our tracking a whirl? Head to our tracking demo and play with the tracking in realtime.

iPad and iPhone support is available on every plan except the Solo. If you’re an existing customer, contact us at support@wistia.com to have iPad and iPhone support enabled for your account.

    Data is so valuable these days it can mean the success or failure of your business and its good to see that important media can now be tracked, I’ll be signing up shortly.

    This is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in this site, especially its discussion. I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! Keep up the good work.

    Thanks so much for this wonderful website;this is the kind of thing that keeps me on track through these day. I’ve been looking around for this site after I heard about them from a buddy and was thrilled when I found it after searching for long time. Being a avid blogger, I’m hopeful to see others taking initiative and contributing to the community. I just wanted to comment to show my approval for your blog as it’s very appealing, and many writers do not get acknowledgment they deserve. I am sure I’ll visit again and will recommend to my friends.

    Ipads are the wave of the future. I just hope that with this tablet outbreak, communications companies don’t take advantage and jack up the rates on data download rates.

    Are there any recent updates on this? I like to use Wistia videos and want to make sure it will work on the iPad2? Anyone have information on this?

  8. Jeff says:

    Hi Jody!
    Yes – we have full iPad2 support, using an HTML5 version of the player. All the great statistics we provide for Flash-based viewing transfers over to the iPad and iPad2 as well.
    please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! (jeff@wistia.com)

  9. This is fantastic to get this type of data. It seems that the iPad is really coming on strong and that video is a huge component. I am really starting to think that video blogs is where its at. I know thats not new, but for me to think this way is and this post is nudging me there!

  10. I agree with the video being one of the major factors for the huge popularity.

  11. I want to make a promotional video for my new travel website for online video marketing but I don’t have a big budget to get a video production company to do this. My budget is $200 maximum.
    I think my best option at this point is to make it myself in iMovie.
    Where can I get good travel video clips and Music/sound effects for this price ? shutterstock is charging $50 for a 5 second clip without music :(

  12. HTML 5 is amazing when you know how to use it!
